Gratitude

When my daughter was very small, I would tuck her in at night and as we said our prayers, I would ask her: ‘What are you Grateful for Today that starts with the letter ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, and so on….?’

This gave rise to creating an interactive journal entitled ‘Prayers of Gratitude from A to Z’. I made about a dozen handmade journals with handmade paper, cardboard backing, a hole punch and raffia to bind the journals together. The pages inside were typed and gave the recipient an introduction to what I was grateful for.

For example, the letter ‘A’ was always for my daughter… ‘Alicia’. ‘B’ for my Bed., and so on.

As tomorrow gives way to Thanksgiving…. I’m reminded that there is so much to be grateful for. So, I share these thoughts with you, and ask you ‘What are you truly Grateful for with your Heart?’ It can be a person, place, thing, song, smell, experience, the way something feels in your hands, a color, water….
